Am I overthinking signs my husband may be chatting online?

I never thought I would be in this situation.

I have a niggling feeling my Husband is chatting to women online.

I keep getting specific type dating app adverts appearing? This usually happens when either of us has searched for something. Is that normal?

Also there's an article on the Daily Mail about 'affair mode' on phones? I can't read it. Has anyone read it?

Every month recently he's been out of data. Only happened in the last few months.

How's your relationship otherwise?

It's good. Odd argument here and there but overall it's good. I know he's not meeting anyone. It's the adverts popping up more than anything? He likes a specific type of woman and the adverts match this.

Though thinking about it, he's been a bit more happy than usual and offering to help me with the kids more than usual too.

I get these all the bloody time as well at the moment. It's not something I've been looking at, and I very much doubt DP has been either (what with her being female and heterosexual).

There's a thread in site stuff at the moment where they've been showing up on Mumsnet for lots of people as well.

In the absence of any other evidence, I really wouldn't treat some random adverts you're getting as proof that your partner is cheating on you.

Thanks. That puts my mind at ease a lot. It's amazing how all these things add up.

Agree with PP your imagination might be getting the better of you
